A Tribute to
Albert Charles De Blase

I was four years old when Albert Charles (named for both grandfathers) De Blase was born. My parent's brought him home and said, "This is your little brother. You have to take care of him". And I did. When he was five we learned that he had a sight problem that was degenerative and my little brother became legally blind. My parents said, "You have to take care of him". And I did. My brother became a successful psychotherapist and took care of many people. But, it was always my job to take care of him.

In June of 2000 God took that job from me. God now takes care of my brother. Reading "A Travel Guide To Heaven" has provided me with the comfort on believing that my brother is back in God's hands. He has his sight, is with his mother and favorite dog, Randy Boy, and watching us with love. I know that he knows how much I always loved him and still do.
